Huh. Not that I'm completely amazed, but it seems strange that Windows
would be unable to handle Japanese keyboards. Is this an underlying
Windows bug? Perhaps there's some workaround from Microsoft?
It's not that it is unable to handle Japanese keyboards, it is that it
sends fake autorepeat messages that screwup our handling of certain
keys. As Takuma for a better explanation.
